I forgot to mention that if I run a video directly on kde desktop, xine does use AC3/DTS pass through and Im able to listen to multichannel audio. How xine is controlled by lmce? which is the config file used? If the check to enable pass-through is activated, what does it does? what does it changes? which files are affected?

Sounds like we may be missing info in our /etc/pluto/xine.conf for passthrough device. I'm not sure what kind of changes asound.conf has been through recently but /etc/pluto/xine.conf would have to be updated to reflect any new device names...

The problem is when I reboot, there is no sound UNLESS I execute the speakertest at the console. After speaker-test is run, I have sound but there is NO AC3/DTS pass-through working. Only 2ch is sent to the receiver, regardless of the configuration at the webadminIf I try:

No... a thousand times no. It does not help me AT ALL if you are modifying things. Yes I know I can make noise manually configuring all of this. This is not helpful. What I am doing is very different in order to try and auto configure this for every chipset on the planet.

Here is how it works, and ardirtbiker this goes for you as well.

There are 3 areas you need to concern yourself with ONLY 3... and they are all in the same file. nvidia-install.shDRIVER_295_SUPPORTED=DRIVER_260_SUPPORTED=Backports_Required=

ardirtbiker, if you had taken yours out of 295 and put it in 260 before it rebooted the first time... it is IMPOSSIBLE for you to have the 304 driver. IMPOSSIBLE. However now that it does, it also has alsa .24... which is not going to revert without a lot of fight. Please crush it and start over. Do NOT let it boot after Diskless_Setup. Change this file from the /usr/pluto/diskless/XX* directory.Modifying the AVWizard_Run.sh script makes sure that it checks whether or not it needs alsa-backports whether or not the correct video driver is already installed.

tompin2... all that seems to be wrong with yours is that your pciid wasn't in Backports_Required. Add it to there. You also appear to have disabled your onboard soundcard from the bios. Please undo that for now.

I do not have this hardware guys. I take complete guesses looking at the architecture. I need your help putting these things in the right places... then I can make more educated guesses. Please delete these MDs and try again... if you are so inclined.

With all the respect you deserve. Can you explain me what I did wrong?. I followed step by step the procedure @ the lmcewiki page you posted that was born because my post. The only difference between your suggestions and what I have done is that I did disabled, just like you mentioned, the onboard intel sound card, but I did that a loooong time ago and it was working properly, so I never had the issue of card0 or card1, migrating to 1004 fixed may things but messed up the video and audio. Maybe, you could consider that disabling the intel board could be another way to solve id41 randomness. Am I following the wrong guide??? or i'm lost in translation. I do have sound, just not at lmce the way it should, well, to be honest, I do have the problem that I always have to run speaker-test everytime I restart. Besides that, It seems to be something wrong in xine config file, just like phenigma posted. I will kill the md and try anything to help lmce community and of course myself, I believe in the product and the work you all do and I always wish I could help as much as you. Right now I feel I can only complain , In the future, I hope might be able to help others as you do so kindly.

I will continue to try some more with the setup I have just to learn more how stuff works and then, enable the onboard card and restart all over again and post results.

Yeah... a lot of things aren't listed on the certified list because they didn't exist at the time that do work. Your's is just special. You will have to sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia* and then move your pciid from 260 to 295 (which will actually get 304) in /usr/pluto/bin/nvidia-install.sh

I did get a little bit (band-aid perhaps) further. I did install linux-image 2.6.38-16-generic which gave me the HDMI audio devices. Installed linux-backports-modules-alsa-lucid-generic, then backed up /etc/asound.conf and /usr/pluto/templates/asound.conf, then copied /usr/pluto/templates/asound.conf.backports to replace the other two. Running AVWizard didnt give me any sound, however I am getting HDMI sound with Mythtv, but not with dvd images.
